Production/Metal Finishing Tech -Will Train - Day Shift

Metal finishing and plating touches everything - medical devices, aerospace, defense, tools, hardware, and critical U.S. manufacturing. Most people don't know this industry exists. That's okay.

Our trade is not taught in schools. We'll train you! Training involves both hands-on training and online coursework, related to plating processes, metals, and chemical properties.

What we can't train? Work ethic. Reliability. Initiative.

If you show up, stay focused, and want to grow - this is a real career path with long-term opportunity!

What to Know Before Applying: (We want you to read this carefully)

Attendance matters: We rely on our team being here when scheduled. Our success depends on employees that show up to work. That means showing up every day, on time, and not leaving early. We reward strong attendance with bonuses!

Strict security protocols: Personal mobile devices must be locked up during shifts (available only on breaks and in designated areas).

Warehouse environment: Exposure to heat, humidity, dust, and noise. This is hands-on, active work. We have a clean warehouse and are compliant with OSHA, Federal, and State regulations.

Career-oriented: Youll have the chance to grow with us if you bring a strong work ethic and initiative. Growth can be becoming an expert in the position, becoming a lead/trainer, changing departments, or going into a supervisor/manager role. It all depends on what interests the employee and the effort put forth by the employee.

We conduct in-person interviews only: This position is located in Minnesota. We do not conduct virtual interviews. If you do not currently reside in MN, you must have definite relocation plans in place before being considered for an interview. There is a place to explain in the screener questions included with this ad.
